Episode #144: Todd Glaser / Surf & Commercial Photographer

Aug 20, 2020
01:56:14

Respected surf photographer and commercial shooter Todd Glaser joins the podcast to talk about how he went from growing up in Del Mar as a competitive body boarder and shooting pictures of his friends, to traveling all over the world chasing swell for Surfer Magazine and compiling an archive of some of the best wave riders in the world, including his long standing creative relationship with Kelly Slater.  After years of chasing waves as a sponsored body boarder, it felt like a natural transition for Todd as he started holding on to a water housing instead of a body board and learning how to compose beautiful water images of the world he was already very much a part of.  After furthering his education of photography at Brooks Institute, he was offered a staff position for Surfer and began what has already been an amazing career of surf photography.  During our conversation we talk about how he developed his style of shooting both from the water and the land to capture not only the action of surfing, but the lifestyle as well, what it's like to travel and work with one of the most respected and hardworking surfers of all time, his latest book and film project called "Proximity", how the world of surf photography has changed in the new social media landscape, and the advice he gives to others chasing their own creative goals.
